What is ALICE? The ALICE Experiment detects quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter thought to have formed just after the big bang. ALICE is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities. #BigBang Watch more videos: http://cern.ch/go/b6mQ Video credit: RADIO TELEVISION SUISSE (RTS) - ARTE Future and CERN | CERN

Quark gluon plasma. What is that and why is it so interesting? 🤔 Shortly after the #BigBang, the Universe was filled with an astonishingly hot, dense soup made of all kinds of particles moving at near light speed. This mixture was dominated by quarks – fundamental bits of matter – and by gluons, carriers of the strong force. Every year, CERN physicists collide #HeavyIons to free quarks, recreating conditions that existed in the early #Universe just after the Big Bang. As this year’s heavy-ion r

CERN's ALICE experiment delves into quark-gluon plasma, a state mirroring conditions after the Big Bang. Experiments also seek to detect dark matter, which could revolutionize physics. Tag a friend who gets it! #CERN #ALICEExperiment #QuarkGluonPlasma #DarkMatter #BigBang #Physics | Explained Away
